Tears, tears, tears....

Today is a day of crying for me. The last few days have been really good- I've been happy, hopeful, and no cravings. Today, things fell on me like a ton of bricks. This is a day when emotions are running wild and I have to face those sad feelings.

It was triggered by the fact that I may be facing a biopsy and I'm scared. Really scared.

I am glad that I have a place where I can vent and talk about things.

It will be ok. I can see you are worried with the biopsy. I understand. I believe tomorrow you will feel better, and then in the day after even better. And your health will be great so you can enjoy sobriety like you deserve,

May God bless you and your beautiful destination.

Hope,

I am sorry that you are going through this.

I have been through something similar and I know I was worried. But, try to be positive and have faith that things will work out.

I will keep the faith!

All of this stress has given me a bad headache. I may just go lay down for a bit to relax or watch a movie.

There is a movie coming on tonight with Jim Carrey in it and I know I'll get a laugh out of that. He is funny.

I know I'll get through whatever it is that I have to face. Nothing is impossible. Now that I am sober, the possibilities are endless. No matter what struggles I face, I will emerge stronger!

My new inspirational friend Hope4:

Sorry about the news...I can relate to the fear...I struggled with fear all

week, and could not seem to get free..

Last night in my meditation....I asked my Higher Power for an image to

help me sleep while I "turned it over" again...within a moment I "saw"

the letter from Court dissolving into glittering dust...as if the matter has

already been resolved.

Hope this helps a bit.

Love,

:Flower;

Watching a funny movie is a great idea - have a good laugh - beat those fears down with humour.
I'm glad you shared about how overwhelming emotions can be. I can identify so strongly! It's overwhelming when we have days like those.

((hang in there))

I'm sorry you're worrying Hope4life . When is the biospy? I hope it's soon so you don't have to worry so long.

Watch that funny movie. That should get you in a better mood .

I'm doing much better than I was.
Still dealing with the emotions but it's life.

Still trying to get used to living life without drinking. It really feels weird to be sober sometimes. You know how crazy that sounds for me to say that. Someone who isn't an alcoholic or addict wouldn't understand.

I am so grateful to be sober! When I first sobered up, I didn't even know if I wanted to do it. But, I did it anyway. Now I am glad that I did. I didn't give in to those cravings that lied and said I could have 1 drink. One is too many and a thousand is never enough.

There's always hope. We must never stop believing that.

Hope,

It is OK to let the tears fall, in fact it is best... This is a healing process and most always after a good cry, one always feels better.

I am glad you come here and write of your struggles, your pain, and your fears...We are here to support you...

Thinking of you...
